Link (SSB4)/Up aerial

Overview

Link thrust the Master Sword upward and keeps it suspended above his head. It is quite powerful and is a good KO move. It has a very long hitbox duration making it impossible to airdodge as long as it stays over the opponent. However, it has moderate landing lag, but is less if it auto-cancels. It is able to true combo from a down throw at high percentages due to being unable to be airdodged, however the weaker hitbox will hit the opponent.
